Re: refrencing unparsed entities within an attribute

Yasser,

The entity declaration you posted unfortunately is not valid XML. You
could use something like the following though:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE tag [
<!ELEMENT tag   EMPTY  >
<!ATTLIST tag 	attr  ENTITY    #IMPLIED  >
<!NOTATION TEXT SYSTEM "" >
<!ENTITY e1 SYSTEM "e1.txt" NDATA TEXT>
]>
<tag attr="e1"/>

Then have "ValOfE1" in the e1.txt file. I suppose you could also have
"ValOfE1" as the system identifier and retrieve it with
unparsed-entity-uri(), but that would be poor practice I suppose, since
you probably do not intend "ValOfE1" to be a real URI. 

Also, be aware that if you cannot recreate unparsed entity declarations
in your output with XSLT, since it doesn't support writing to the
declaration subset.
